Speech #770111087

It will snuff out the light of liberty that has flamed since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. I am of the opinion. along with a number of distinguished attorneys in this House. that this bill in its present form is unconstitutional. that it violates the basic principles upon which our democracy is founded. I fully realize that we have in this Nation many who should be deported. many who should be incarcerated. but who are roaming free and tearing down the banner of liberty. I know that in this bill we specifically name certain groups and cetain organizations. We have unAmerican groups in the United States. we have the GermanAmerican Bund. we have other German organizations. we have communistic organizations. we have the Communist Party. if you please. and we have not had nerve enough to outlaw and make illegal any one of these sub�versive groups.
